Come Sunday

Nikki Grimes
Illustrated by Michael Bryant

In lively and delicious poetry, accompanied by evocative, full-color illustrations, Nikki Grimes recounts LaTasha’s Sunday adventures in Paradise—Paradise Baptist Church, that is. From rising in the morning, to greeting the blue-haired ladies at church, to the soft and powerful voice of the visiting lady preacher, the church offering, a baptism, a church supper and finally home to bed, Grimes brings the experience of Sundays at church to life. Reverent, funny and wildly energetic all at the same time, this is a wonderful book for introducing children to church life.
